DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

Referring now to the invention in more detail, in FIG. 1 there is showna garment carrying device 100. It is equipped with a long strap 102. Thefront side of the strap 102 has an adjustable buckle 105. The backsideof the strap 102 has two sex bolts 107 inserted into it that hold twosets of small straps 103, 104. Small strap 103 has a buckle 106 on theend of it. Small strap 104 has holes running down its center.

In more detail, still referring to the invention of FIG. 1, FIG. 2, andFIG. 4, the buckle 105 allows for the strap 102 to be adjusted, the usercan tighten or loosen the strap 102 to fit comfortably diagonally acrossthe torso as shown in FIG. 3. The small straps 103, 104 are attached tothe strap 102 with a sex bolt 107. Small strap 103 has a belt buckle onone end 106, this allows the small strap 103 to be tightened andloosened to best secure the garment 111 by buckling it with small strap104. The sex bolt 107 is tall enough in height to allow enough clearancebetween the strap 102 and small straps 103, 104 as shown in FIG. 2. Thiswill allow small straps 103, 104 to hang perpendicular to the ground.This will create a flat surface for the back of the strap 102, allowingthe wearer of the garment carrying device to wear the jacket or coatover the garment carrying device when it is not in use.

The construction details of the invention as shown in FIG. 1 and FIG. 2are that the garment carrying device 100 may be made of nylon webbing orany other fully bendable material such as leather, canvas, denim, andplastic. Also various parts of the garment carrying device 100 such asthe buckles 106 can be made from different materials such as wood, hardplastic, or metal. The buckle 106 could either be a belt buckle or anyother buckle that allows for adjustment such as but not limited to aside release buckle 110. In such case the small straps 103,104 need nothave holes as shown in FIG. 4.
